Under the Waterfall - Abyss

Is this it   then

The sudden transition

The abyss

I've heard so much about

To think

I've spent a lifetime avoiding

a maze

dark empty hallways

so intricately designed

shuffling footsteps

brought me here

to a stillness most sublime

to this capsized cup

poured out like a tranquil lake

me   the pea

lurching round and round

Pray tell

depths of meaning scried

Fates what keep you

what dire consequence

I've not already gleaned

shall I divine

Reveal to me your phantasmagoria

oasis of dread

your warped imaginarium

utter corruption

bitter cauldron seething molten hate

a sweet child sacrifice

gleaming daggers   blood congealing

salivating cannibals

asylums haunted   demented Shades

tell me   tell me

necromantic puppetry   intimations of Hades

pray tell

numskulls knock   taunting mock

what twisted form of hell

dank tomb   stark loom 

                                    worst than this sealed room

shears snipping heart's string 

an exile's suffering

evil eye   oh my   oh my

spurned   rejected   cast aside

such pallid offerings

artless sins for which I die.
